US spent Trillion US $ just to overthrow Saddam

Now Iraq is free to join with Iran. Already proven by Iraq's refusalto sanction Syria for its crimes against humanity.

Theories that US invaded Iraq just to steal its petroleum resources istherefore completely false.

By insisting on a democracy instead of dictatorships unlike otherregions in the gulf states, US is playing with fire with its selfishinterests, but has managed to hold a high ground on morality andjustice for humanity.

Unfortunately US has not shown a good example for Iraqi administratorsto follow by ignoring human rights issues. Democracy and justicecannot survive when human rights are ignored. It has been proven inmany nations but unfortunately US is abandoning human rights even forits own citizens. Sooner or later, US will no longer be democratic andrespectful of justice, and it will also end the economic might of themost wealthy nation on earth and subsequently its military might.

BAGHDAD (AP) – Iraq's prime minister said Saturday that his securityforces are ready to protect the country once the American militarywithdraws by the end of this year, and played down any suggestion thatIraq would become a follower of Iran.

Nouri al-Maliki told The Associated Press in an exclusive interviewSaturday that he has "no concerns whatsoever" about security after allAmerican troops withdraw by Jan. 1. Iraqi security forces have proventhemselves capable and able to protect their own country, he said.

"Nothing has changed with the withdrawal of the American forces fromIraq on the security level because basically it has been in ourhands," he said.

The prime minister said Iraq has been largely responsible for securityever since the American military pulled out of the cities in 2008 andwithdrew to bases outside the cities, leaving the Iraqi militarylargely responsible for their own internal security.

He said he was not worried about the type of sectarian warfare thatalmost destroyed Iraq in the years following the 2003 U.S.-ledinvasion.

"I assure the world that the Iraqi forces and the general situation inthe country hasn't changed and will not change," the prime ministersaid.

The prime minister also dismissed fears that Iraq would fall underneighboring Iran's sphere of influence, once the American militaryleaves Iraq. Some U.S. officials have suggested that Iranian influencein Iraq would inevitably grow once American troops depart.

Both countries have Shiite majorities and are dominated by Shiitepolitical groups. Many Iraqi politicians spent time in exile in Iranunder Saddam Hussein's repressive regime.

Al-Maliki vowed that Iraq will chart its own policies in the futurethat conform to Iraqi national interests.

"Iraq is not a follower of any country," al-Maliki said. He pointedout several areas in which Iraq had acted against Iran's desires,including the signing of the security agreement in 2008 that requiredall U.S. forces to leave Iraq by the end of this year. Iran had beenpushing for all American troops to be out of the country even sooner.

"Through our policies, Iraq was not and will not be a follower ofanother country's policies," he said.Copyright 2011 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
